2007 Lowe FS175 Trolling Motor Thurst

[Gananoquian]

Hi all,

Just purchased the 2007 Lowe FS175. It doesn't have the bow mounted trolling motor (but does have the connections/mount) and I am wondering how much thrust I need to troll effectively.

Thanks in advance for your advice

Basically the bigger the better. If you have pics of the current mount you have I'm sure we can let you know what brand trolling motor the mount belongs to. Also if it's set up for 12v system 24v system.

Thanks! I will be able to put up pictures next weekend when we bring it home. I guess my main concern is if 80lbs is enough or if I need to go higher
